Method
Heat the oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with non-stick baking paper, use a bit of spray grease if you have it to keep the baking paper firmly in place on the baking sheet.
Put the herbs into a food processor and whizz. Add the bread, blend into crumbs. Add the cheese, lemon zest, lemon juice, and egg white. Season well with salt and pepper and pulse to combine.
Place the cod on the lined sheet and season with salt and pepper. Brush a little olive oil over then press ¼ of the mixture on to each fillet.
Drizzle with a little olive oil and bake for 12 mins until fish is cooked through.
Meanwhile, cook the peas in boiling salted water for a few mins. Drain and serve with the cod, mixed salad leaves, a drizzle of French dressing and lemon wedges on the side.
Top Tip for making Herb crusted cod
Make sure you take the fish out of the fridge at least 5 minutes before you start to cook it. Cooking it straight from the fridge will mean that some bits are overcooked whilst the centre still isn’t warm.
